Panamax M4300-PM Manual

Key Features

Automatic Over & Under Voltage

Protection

Panamax's patent pending power mon-

itoring circuitry constantly monitors

the AC line voltage for unsafe voltage

conditions such as momentary spikes,

prolonged over-voltages and under-

voltages (brownouts). These unsafe

conditions pose a very dangerous

threat to all electronic equipment with-

in the home. If the MAX® 4300-PM

senses an unsafe power condition, it

will automatically disconnect your

equipment from the power to protect

equipment from damage. Once the

voltage returns to a safe level, the

MAX® 4300-PM will automatically

reconnect the power.

•

When subjected to a 6,000V (open

circuit voltage) / 500A (short circuit

current) surge, the MAX® 4300-PM

limits its voltage output to less than

330V peak, UL's best rating.

The MAX® 4300-PM will withstand,

without damage, 20,000 Ampere

surges, far exceeding the UL require-

ment of only 3,000 Ampere surges.

The MOV's are rated for a peak

impulse current of 60,000 Amperes,

which ensures the safety and durability

of the MAX 4300-PM's protection cir-

cuitry.

•

If the magnitude of the surge is

greater than the capacity of the surge

protection components, the MAX®

4300-PM's Protect or Disconnect ™

Circuitry will disconnect your equip-

ment in order to protect it. The MAX®

4300-PM will need to be repaired or

replaced by Panamax if this occurs.

USB Charger:

MAX® 4300-PM features a front panel

convenience charger for mp3 players,

cell phones, and other small electron-

ics.

Gaming Outlet

MAX® 4300-PM features a conven-

ience outlet located on the front panel.

Perfect for gaming systems and other

electronics.

Front Panel Lights

2 switchable convenience lights to view

your media and home theater system

when it's dark.

Cable/sat/antenna signal protection

Coaxial protection circuits achieve opti-

mum signal quality from our new coax-

ial protectors that have the smallest

signal loss on the market - less than

0.5 db of attenuation from 0Hz to

2.2GHz.

Our upgraded coaxial protection has

been specifically designed to virtually

eliminate signal loss.

The clamping level of 75V will meet the

demands of both cable and satellite

voltage while minimizing exposure to

damaging spikes and surges.

Telephone Line Protection

Digital video recorders and satellite TV

receivers require a telephone line con-

nection for TV show scheduling and/or

Pay-Per-View services. The M4300-PM

provides telephone protection on one

set of RJ-11 jacks.

The telephone line protection circuitry

utilizes auto-resetting PTCRs and solid-

state SIDACtors for reliability and

unsurpassed protection. The clamping

level of the MAX 4300-PM's telephone

protector is 260 volts. This will allow

typical ring voltage (90-130VAC) and

operating battery voltage (-48DC) to

pass through the circuit and still pro-

tect the modem in your satellite receiv-

er from damage.

LAN Line Protection

Protection circuits for 10/100 baseT

Ethernet lines. Incoming LAN line

MUST be plugged into the LINE jack.

Patch cord to the equipment MUST be

plugged into the EQUIP jacks. 8 wire

protection, 50V clamping.

Isolated Banks

Linear EMI/RFI Noise Filtration with

Isolation Between Outlet Banks:

Your audio/video components are con-

stantly being bombarded by electro-

magnetic interference (EMI) and radio

frequency interference (RFI) through

their AC power source. This contami-

nated power can affect audio/video

equipment and will degrade the overall

performance of your entire system.

Common symptoms of contaminated

power include loss of picture detail,

dull colors,

pops, hisses, hums and

visual artifacts.

The MAX® 4300-PM is designed to

eliminate noise contamination, supply

clean power to your system and pro-

vide noise isolation between the outlet

banks so that any noise created by A/V

components cannot contaminate the

power going to equipment plugged into

the other outlet banks of the MAX®

4300-PM.

Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT)

For improving picture and sound quali-

ty nothing filters AC noise better. LiFT

evenly eliminates noise across the

entire bandwidth, ensuring peak audio

and video performance by reducing

harmonic distortion and improving the

signal-to-noise ratio. With LiFT, you are

assured consistent performance and

the highest resolution from any audio

or video system.
